A new crew chief and new team manager/car chief have joined the #7 team at RGM. Greg Erwin and Frank Kerr will assume these roles and make their debut this weekend in Richmond.

Sponsor Jim Beam will unveil a public service announcement on Friday, May 13, at 4:00pm/et in the pressroom at Richmond International Raceway. Robby Gordon teamed up with IRL driver Dan Wheldon of the Andretti Green Racing Team to tape a PSA about making sensible decisions relating to alcohol consumption. The PSA was produced to raise awareness of Jim Beams social responsibility platform, drink smart. As part of the drink smart campaign, Robby Gordon Motorsports will donate $10,000 from a $100,000 fund provided by Jim Beam bourbon, the Official Spirit of Racing, to officials from Virginia State University. The check presentation will take place in the pressroom at Richmond International Raceway, Friday at 4:00pm/et. The donation will fund the Universitys implementation of The Century Councils Alcohol 101 PlusTM education program and related alcohol education activities.(Robby Gordon Motorsports)(5-12-2005)
